The wait time to receive a kidney transplant can range from 2 to 3 years and in some cases it can take a full 10 years to get a kidney transplant.

The time it takes to get a kidney transplant will depend on how many people are ahead of you and how long it will take to find a matched kidney for the person.

Some people die even while on dialysis while waiting to have a kidney transplant.
